Panja is a weaving technique from Haryana in India. It is mostly used for weaving light rugs called dhurries. It gets its name from a claw-like tool called panja which is used to beat the weft threads into the warp to adjust them there. Panja rugs are famous for their lightness and portability. They are made from cotton or wool or jute. The designs are usually geometric. In the past, when these rugs adorned the palaces of Rajasthan the designs were more elaborate and resembled Persian rugs, however, over time as demands increased and rugs became common for household use, the designs simplified into the distinct geometric form they are recognised for today.

a love letter to pavitr's character, my culture, my food and family in general💟
Tumblr media
few days ago I asked on twt and insta what food to feed baby pavitr... there were different answers and I tried to include them all💕
it also became a bit of a love letter to my culture... I am far away from India but food as always been a connection to there(even tho I miss local food so much) I got a bit emotional while drawing ngl🥹
edit:
also heads up... I actually never drawn and painted food before. like. not seriously. I don't really draw food. so if you're not sure what the dishes are supposed to represent (which is totally understandable), you can check the ALT caption! it made me go insane but it was fun i will also add an alternative version of the drawing without the light blue shadows and without the halftone:

maharaja fateh singh crossing a river during the monsoon, by shivalal, ca. 1893, 82.6 × 158.8cm. city palace museum, udaipur.
painters in early/modern india sought to animate the intense presence of lightning during the monsoon season with a tactile metaphor—its strike was like a biting snake.
